June 3, 2013 armiho211	Topic: Bats Discussion: BLACK MIKEN ULTRA 2 PROBLEMS FIXED ? WAYNE 37- i read someplace that the composite bats get stiffer as time goes by. not sure if this means they get brittle or harder to break. nobody knows the answer because they normally dont last that long with a normal hitter. see ya tonite, i will give you an extra 25 ft in right field now that you warned us about your new miken.
June 2, 2013 armiho211	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: pics from reno Double 10- hope you and terry p. dodged this latest storm again..... this must be getting old by now. take care my amigo.
June 1, 2013 armiho211	Topic: Bats Discussion: 2 piece Ultra broke after 6 games..... extremely disappointed this is not right. call miken, tell them your situation, maybe you can get an RMA and return it to be checked out. you got nothing to lose at this point !
May 31, 2013 armiho211	Topic: Bats Discussion: BLACK MIKEN ULTRA 2 PROBLEMS FIXED ? MIKEN had a batch(s) of the regular ULTRA 2'S a few months ago that " had no pop " at all. as far as you know has this particular problem been corrected ? i bought one that was a dud, sent it to miken and got it back as being okay. i finally got rid of it. i switch to a reebok melee balanced and this one is getting hotter and hotter as time goes by, BUT as far as i am concerned , it does not compare to a regular ultra 2 . so , is the miken ultra 2 back to normal as far as manufacturing ? no more batch problems ??
May 27, 2013 armiho211	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: CELEBRATING MEMORIAL DAY have a great time today today in celebrating this special day. time to watch parades, bbq at the park and back yards gather with friends and family. BUT take a few moments to honor the men and women who died in war to preserve our freedom to be able to do and enjoy our liberties. we attend a memorial day service every year at the local park where the names of the fallen are read to honor their service and final sacrifice to keep this country free. the shame is that the attendence is getting smaller every year, very few kids are in attendance, and most of the adults are older people. have a great day !
May 26, 2013 armiho211	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Catcher's verbal interference Double 10 : yep ! understand that terry p. suffered limited damage to his home during this last tornado . maybe it's time to consider moving, if there is such a place one might consider moving to that might be safe from nature's fury.
May 24, 2013 armiho211	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Catcher's verbal interference at our age, a lot us are easily distracted , BUT it should not be a problem. the batter is supposed to be focusing on the pitch, and a catcher making noise is not a big deal. if the catcher is screaming, that could be a diff story, the ump should get it stopped. my .03 c .
May 20, 2013 armiho211	Topic: Bats Discussion: Solar Bat Warmes cold balls and warm bats, not sure of the outcome. hope the bat survives. use an ASA bat for batting practice in the mornings until the day warms up. good luck.

April 10, 2013 armiho211	Topic: Associations Discussion: IT IS A GOOD DAY us navy- destroyer sailor,(volunteered) 1960-1964 . operated off the taiwan straits off the chinese coast. made it also to hong kong, subic bay, japan, south korea, formosa,and some other choice vacations spots, all free of charge of course. after our tour was over in that area we were returning to long beach,ca. when we were diverted to the suez canal to proceed to cuba where the confrontation with russia was heating up. a few days later we were diverted back to long beach, apparently, NIKITA KRUSCHEV blinked and pulled the missiles from cuba. to this day , not too many people realize how close we came to world war 3. if you were too young and did not realize what transpired in the cuban missile crises. then you need to see a movie named " THE MISSILES OF OCTOBER" with william devane as president john f kennedy. kinda long , but it will keep you glued, there was so much behind the scenes actions that occurred with spies, ambassadors into trying to stop the actual confrontation. this movie is not fictional, pretty close to actuallity.

Jan. 23, 2013 armiho211	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: loosing toenails had the same problem a couple of times, i decided to trim my toenails before tournaments and it stopped my problem. guess the running caused my toenails to be jammed into the front of the shoes. try that next time, or try a small piece of foam jammed into the front of the shoes to cushion the jamming. good luck, my .02c.

Dec. 7, 2012 armiho211	Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken SPU2P Ultra II USA 2012 the one i had was a dud, out of the wrapper, i couldnt get it to hit over 100 ft during the first 50 hits. i got rid of it. even the newer black ultra 2 appear to be the same, duds. maybe it was a bad batch, i gave up on mikens, if i buy another, i will buy an older model and use for tournaments only. the quality is just not there anymore, strictly my opinion. my .02c
Nov. 28, 2012 armiho211	Topic: Bats Discussion: yellow combat very simple, dont like the price, dont buy it. if you really want the bat, try to work out a deal with the man. if he really needs the money, he may drop the price. my .02 c .
Sept. 18, 2012 armiho211	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings SSUSA- in 2011, the wilcatters 70's played in the phoenix championships in october 2011 as a MAJOR TEAM. we went 6-1 , 5 of the wins were by 1 to 3 runs . we were bumped up to MAJOR PLUS immediately. we went to the LAS VEGAS WINTER NATLS the following month ( nov ) as a MAJOR PLUS TEAM. we were the only MAJOR PLUS team there. there were 5 MAJOR teams and we had to give 5 runs to the major teams. i think we won one game. SSUSA- IF YOUR EXPLANATION TO #19 ABOVE IS CORRECT, THEN WHAT HAPPENED IN OUR CASE???? not that it makes any differenece at this point, just needed to see your response to our situation ??
Sept. 3, 2012 armiho211	Topic: Bats Discussion: Miken is NOT taking care of the problem Ultra IIs taits: in my case, no email was recd, the " dud " bat just showed up via ups. i am beginning to wonder that maybe at almost 71 yrs old, i may be the dud ! but, no more mikens for me. i got a new combat ambush, and also an almost new yellow mike macenko senior gear , that i may start using.
